You find many tools on the Internet that let you download videos from YouTube comfortably. From browser extensions like Download Helper for Firefox to desktop applications like YouTube Snagger or Tubequeue. What most of them have in common is the ability to download individual videos from the video hosting site YouTube. Some even come with a queue to download multiple videos at once from the video hosting site.
But how to they fare if you want to download a playlist, a user’s favorites, channels or all video responses? Most do not offer automatic options to do that. And the prospect of having to add hundreds of videos individually is not really that great.
Enter Free YouTube Download, a freeware program for Windows that offers single and batch downloads of YouTube videos.
All you need to do is paste a YouTube video url into the interface. Free YouTube download will scan the address on YouTube and add either a single video or multiple videos depending on the type of address.
You can paste single video urls, channels, playlists, user videos, video responses and every other YouTube link that points to one or multiple videos.
YouTube Video downloads include
- complete YouTube playlists and show lists
- all video from YouTube charts
- all video responses to a YouTube video
- all videos of a selected YouTube user or a channel
- all video from the user favorites
The input url, number of videos and the total playing time are displayed in the program interface. You can select an output folder on a local hard drive and the desired output format and definition of the videos. Available are standard resolution files up to 1080p high definition videos. Formats available are mp4, avi and flv.
If you want to download all videos that you have pasted in you can click the download button right away to start the downloading. Sometimes you may not want to download all videos from a specific user, playlist or channel. A click on the Output Name button opens a list of all videos found during the scan.
It is possible to deselect some of the videos so that they won’t be downloaded by the application. Only the YouTube videos that remain selected are then downloaded by Free YouTube Download.
There is also an options button which offers some additional settings. It is possible to add a proxy server, enable accelerated downloads or turn on auto-pasting of YouTube video from the Clipboard. The last option speeds up the process of adding videos to the download queue.
Free YouTube Download is an excellent application for Windows users who want to download multiple videos from YouTube users, channels or playlists. The ability to paste just one link into the application to download hundreds of videos is rarely available in video downloaders.
It offers several additional features that other applications usually do not offer. This includes downloading YouTube videos and embedded YouTube videos from third party websites, RTMP streaming videos and YouTube charts.
The software worked fine during tests on a 64-bit Windows 7 Professional operating system. The application can be downloaded at the developer website.
